Western Digital® (NYSE: WDC), the world's leader in external storage solutions and maker of the popular WD TV® media player family, today announced that the Netflix subscription service is now available through its WD TV Live Plus™ media players in Brazil.

WD TV Live Plus customers who are Netflix members can instantly watch thousands of TV episodes and movies on the biggest screen in their home for a low monthly price of R$14.99, starting with a one month free trial. Netflix availability, in combination with access to other services like YouTube®, Facebook®, Picasa®, TuneIn Radio®, as well as personal photos, movies, and music, makes WD TV Live Plus the easiest way for consumers to bring the best of the Internet and their personal content to the television.

With over 25 million members in the U.S. and Canada, Netflix is the world's leading Internet movie subscription service. In Brazil, Netflix offers thousands of hours of Hollywood, international and local movies and TV series to watch instantly, including a wide range of kid's shows.

The WD TV Live Plus media player also lets Brazilian consumers stream photos, music and videos from any Mac or PC computer or network storage device such as the My Book® Live™ drive, over home networks and onto the television. Any USB drive, like the WD My Passport® and My Book product families can be directly plugged into the media player's USB port for instant enjoyment of personal content. WD TV Live Plus even supports the connection of a USB camcorder or digital camera. The powerful media processing in the WD TV Live Plus media player enables playback in Full-HD 1080p resolution and supports most types of video and audio formats.
